So. Watching the thread a lot of the usual stuff happening, fairly predictable actually. :) However, for the record, I love Pauline. I plan on using her rather extensively after I get through my holiday rush of comic production. I find she bends very well despite some claiming otherwise. I find her a suitable replacement for V4 in my runtimes thus far especially with the addition of Morphs and a conversion kit for clothing. I would like to see more skins and content but tis early in the process. I don't see any of the issues in rigging that folks speak of either but hey I'm new to it.

The thing I tell myself when a new figure comes out and I've tried about all of them as they came out cause I'm avid in trying new things and seeing what they can do. So I've tried everything from V4, Genesis, Gen2, Gen3, Dawn, Scarlett, the default Poser figures like Alysoun, Roxie, Miki, and beyond. One unalienable fact remains, each figure had issues when it came out. I find that Pauline had fewer issues IMHO.

So I'm willing to support the figure and see how she develops out, I am not willing to judge a figure because of who produced it, what program it works in, or a lot of other religious fervor that overcomes folks :) Why? Cause we are a community of 3d artists that use a lot of different programs to create art and content. Should it matter really in the end? No. Divergent opinions and views are great for learning , for seeing other sides of things, for opening our eyes to new possiblities, to dare to explore, ... tis what we humans are good at. However, we are also good with destructive behaviours of tearing things down just cause they don't match our worldview... I find I reject this model. I prefer to be constructive in my criticisms I prefer to see the good, the bad, the ugly, the not so ugly... and I prefer to adapt and share in the spirit of a sharing, can do, exploration, and enjoying the company of great folk that just want to create art without tearing down other folks in the process. :)

Anyways, enough said, carry on, I need to go and do paying work, and go and play with Pauline (hrm that didn't come off right does it) ;)
